I picked up a brisket at Costco, it was the only one they had left so I did not have much choice. I it is kind of oddly shaped not sure if I trimmed it right or not.
Any suggestions on trim if I ever run into this again? Or maybe just not buy it. :emoji_wink:

Did my first cook on my Rec Tec 700, and what a difference. I have been using a MES 40 for a few years and never really been happy with the results (I am sure it was user error). I know I forgot the pictures, but did a rack of St. Louis ribs and some chicken wings using CookingPellets Perfect...
I have been smoking for a while and have never had ribs that I felt were worth sharing. Started with loin back, and switched to St. Louis style ribs last year. I use a MES40 with a AMPS and always cooked at 225. Tried wrapping/not wrapping etc... I have a flavor profile we really enjoy but ribs...
Did my first ABT's this weekend and will be making them again. They were a big hit everyone wants to know the next time I am making them.
Used cream cheese, cheddar, and rub mix, little smokies and bacon. MES40 230 for 3hrs.
Long time lurker and though it might would be good to sign in. :)
I have been using a smoker for about 3 years and have learned a lot from these forums.
Just upgraded my smoker from a MES 30 GEN 2 (yes I know) to a new MES 40 GEN 2.5. And hope to be able to contribute back to the community...
